yummy bento!
I love this book. That said, I only actually bought it because I knew there were a few good asian market groceries in my city, so I was confident that I could find things that I needed. It's a surprisingly thin book, but packed with huge color photos and visual instructions so I find it a lot more useful than some of my text-book-size cook books. And the one last annoying thing, that I've discovered in this book (and several other "bento" cookbooks") is that the recipes make single servings. I double or triple most recipes just because I cook for more than one person, and even if I'm the only one eating it, i'd like to at least have left-overs so I don't have to cook again for every single meal.
Impossible to find ingredients
I have yet to make a single recipe from this book. I live in a small town in the Southeastern United States, and these ingredients are simply not to be found. What a shame!
Very Japanese
I bought this to go along with the Mr. Bento lunch jar I bought. I was a little disappointed the recipes were not using common ingredients you would find in a normal grocery store. Some of the recipes looked good, and some were simple enough, but honestly dont think I will try any of them. I was looking for new luch ideas to take to work, and this wasnt what I wanted.
